#15 – Mechanical Balance in Palladium Games

If you've heard anything at all about Palladium games, then you've most certainly heard complaints from folks about its supposed lack of "balance" in the various books. Well, we're finally here to tackle that dreaded spectral ogre of argument, and give our own personal takes on the matter. What does "balance" actually mean, and how is it implemented in Palladium? And is that a good thing or bad thing? Opinions are always flying on this one, but give us a listen if you want to hear ours.

#14 – The Enchanted F'ing Cauldron

Gather 'round, young'uns, and listen to an old-timer proclaim his deep and undying love for one of the most "metal" forms of magical power that Palladium Fantasy has to offer: the Enchanted F'ing Cauldron. NPC educates Matthew on the way we wizards had to get new spells back in the day, and how knowledge of that method changes one's perception of the fundamentals of magic in Palladium's various RPGs.

We continue our new OCC Spotlight series by dropping to the opposite extreme of the power spectrum, taking a look at one of NPC's favorite classes, the Vagabond. We discuss how "less can be a whole lot more" when Role-Playing is the name of the game, and dive into our thoughts on the subject of many a great nerd-fight: class balance in Palladium games.
